	Great Lakes Contaminated Sediments: ARCS [EPA-905-R92-008] Saginaw River, MI AOC
		The transport of these contaminants into Saginaw Bay is of concern, and the Michigan DNR has conducted widespread sampling in the Bay to determine contaminant concentrations in the sediments and fish.
		For the purpose of this risk assessment, it was assumed that fish collected from the mouth of the river accumulated most of their contaminant burden from the lower Saginaw River.
		This assessment focused on two pathways by which residents of the lower Saginaw River could be exposed to sediment-derived contaminants: 1) consumption of contaminated fish (i.e., walleye or carp), and 2) consumption of contaminated waterfowl (i.e., mallards and gadwalls).
